Goblins isn't losing long games.

Goblins' losses are coming to combos/strategies it fails to stop (ANT, Belcher, sometimes Lands/Reanimator), or faster aggro. So I'd rather run cards that fix these problems first.
I wasn't saying that either should be played, just that imho stronghold was better.

I like chalice or mindbreak trap more than thorn. ANT/Belcher is likely to go off t1/t2 and I'd like to do whatever I can to slow them down as much as possible. If they have to spend their tutors to get bounce or discard, it gives me that much more time to beat them down.
